First, I had surgery 5 years ago, and one side completely came undone, so I ended up getting consultations for revision surgery. For my first surgery, I went to a large hospital through an acquaintance’s recommendation, but I didn’t really think the aftercare was especially good, and because it was a large hospital, everyone except the director kept changing. So I don’t even know where the doctor who operated on me went;;
So this time, I mainly looked for places with a doctor specializing in eyes or single-doctor clinics.
I went in thinking of a semi-out line, and I wasn’t considering lateral canthoplasty or lowering canthoplasty. And since I didn’t want it to come undone, I was definitely thinking incision. *Some clinics are currently running events on an app, so these are prices with the event applied.*
1. ㄱㄹㅂ - Director Park Jong-cheol -Surgery: semi-out incisional double eyelid + ptosis correction -Price: low 3 million KRW range (same-day deposit discount + review discount) -Aftercare: swelling laser + about 2 follow-up consultations? + I don’t remember the AS policy
Pros!! The consultant and doctor were really kind. If we’re judging only by kindness, this place is number 1ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They answered everything I asked and told me to just trust himㅋㅋㅋ And the aftercare here was also number 1. They said they do swelling laser about twice and follow-up consultations two or three times up to 6 months. Especially recommend this place for people who value aftercare.
Cons!! But what was disappointing was that they didn’t have me take off my mask to check my whole face. And they only tested the line on my left side, not the right, but later while getting consultations elsewhere, I found out my right epicanthal fold is more severe, so everyone recommended medial epicanthoplasty. That made me feel they hadn’t caught the weak points of my eyes very well, which was disappointing. It’s also partly my fault for not asking more thoroughly.
The first price they quoted here was in the 4 million range, but they offered a lot of discounts here and there. If you’re going to have surgery here, try negotiating the price well.
2. ㄸㅋ - Director Kim Hyung-seok -Surgery: in-out incisional double eyelid + upper epicanthoplasty -Price: high 3 million KRW range (review discount) -Aftercare: swelling laser + AS 1 year
Pros!! As soon as I went in, they took photos of my face with a DSLR and then did the consultation, so it felt professional. This is where I found out that the inner corners of my two eyes are different and that I need a canthoplasty. So even if you don’t get surgery here, I recommend getting a consultation. They tested the line the most times and even drew pictures while explainingㅋㅋㅋ If I had surgery there, I felt it would turn out naturally.
Cons!! The price;; this was the most expensive place among the ones I consulted. Since it was revision surgery, I did expect 2 to 3 million, but I didn’t know it would come out in the high 3 million range.
It’s not exactly a downside, but the clinic hasn’t been open long, so the atmosphere was a bit disorganized. It might just be me, but anywayㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. ㄴㅅㅎ - Director Noh Sang-hoon -Surgery: in-out incisional double eyelid + medial epicanthoplasty -Price: low 2 million KRW range (same-day deposit discount) -Aftercare: swelling injection + AS 3 years
Pros!! He’s the representative director, so there wasn’t even a discount, but the price was surprisingly cheap. He had me take off my mask, checked my face, and tested the line several times. Before the consultation, when filling out the questionnaire, I liked that I could write down surgeries I wanted and surgeries I didn’t want. But since I didn’t really know what I needed, it didn’t help much during the actual consultationㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The consultation staff and manager worked the hardest. They called several times, and this was the only place that remembered what I had said on the phone.
Cons!! The doctor is chic and firm. He’s not the type to explain in detail; it felt like, “This is how I’ll do it, so if you want it, go ahead.” But I think that coolness comes from confidenceㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, because of that, if you know a lot about the surgery yourself and have many detailed questions to ask, the consultation would probably be easier.
4. ㅇㅎㅅ - Director Jeon Hee-chang -Surgery: in-out incisional double eyelid + ptosis correction + medial epicanthoplasty -Price: low 2 million KRW range (same-day deposit discount + review discount) -Aftercare: AS 1 year + 1 follow-up consultation
Pros!! Both the doctor and manager were kind, and it was the consultation where I felt the most at ease. He had me take off my mask and tested the line so many times, and I had been wondering whether to do ptosis correction or not, but he explained in detail why it was needed and how much should be done. He explained while drawing pictures, understood the weak points of my eyes well, and told me that a small amount of ptosis correction and medial epicanthoplasty would be included. It seemed like he recommended the most, but rather, I felt that was the natural method for my eyes. This place was number 1 for detailed explanations!! At other places, even after the consultation, I was like, “Well, if the doctor says so, I guess that’s how it is~” But here, I completely understood and could accept it.
Cons!! The AS period is short, and there wasn’t separate aftercare like swelling injections.
That’s the end of my review. I always saw consultation review posts saying there’s a clinic that just feels right, and it was like that for me tooㅋㅋㅋㅋ Honestly, I’m easily swayed, so I put down deposits at 3 of the 4 places I consulted,,, They all said it was 100% refundable, so I did it haha
My surgery is much later, so if it goes well after I get it, I’ll recommend the clinic too!! Everyone, do plenty of consultations and get pretty surgery!
